Biography
Redouane Lakdim was a French citizen of Moroccan descent, and he became a petty criminal known to police. Lakdim later became an Islamist, and he became a supporter of the Islamic State. On 23 March 2018, he killed a motorist and stole his car in Carcassonne, and he attempted a drive-by and a hit-and-run against jogging policemen as he drove from Carcassonne to Trebes. He later entered the Trebes Super U supermarket with a handgun, a grenade, and a knife, shooting two dead and taking hostages. He demanded the release of Salah Abdeslam, and he later allowed for a gendarme lieutenant-colonel to take the place of one of the hostages. The officer turned on his phone and placed it on a table inside of the supermarket so that the policemen surrounding the store could listen in. At some point, he shot the officer, leading to six GIGN operatives storming the building and killing Lakdim. The officer was praised by Interior Minister Gerard Collomb for honoring his country.
